  • Patent number: 6739545
    Abstract: Process and apparatus for winding a running material web, in particular a paper or cardboard web, in which the running material web is wound consecutively on several winding cores, in particular reel spools. At least one cut is made preferably running parallel to the web edge of the running material web and in the web travel direction of the running material web. After the started at least one cut has run through the nip formed by the winding roll and the new winding core, the at least one formed transfer strip which is incorporated in the running material web is detached from the outer circumferential area of the winding roll by at least one directed high-energy air jet that is generated briefly by at least one separator device and simultaneously cuts through. Subsequently, the at least one now detached transfer strip is transferred onto, and preferably applied to, the outer circumferential area of the new winding core by at least one first blower device, in particular a blower shoe.

  • Patent number: 6427938
    Abstract: Process and apparatus for cutting a running material web in which the material web is wound onto several winding cores in succession, such that winding of the material web onto a new winding core begins after a predetermined diameter has been attained in a wound roll formed on an old winding core. The process includes moving the new winding core between a winding roll and the wound roll, such that the material web is fed onto the wound roll from the winding roll. The process further includes forming a nip between the new winding core and the winding roll, positioning at least one cutting device one of in a region between the wound roll and the nip and in a region upstream of the winding roll relative to a web run direction, and moving the at least one cutting device relative to the material web in a plane substantially parallel to the material web.
